Planning around your storage
Start with goods, handling equipment and the space required for day-to-day operations.
Modular storage for factory overflow, seasonal stock and logistics.
Add covered storage at your site.
A temporary warehouse provides covered space for stock, materials and equipment. An industrial marquee is a modular storage structure that can be configured around the goods, vehicle access and site conditions.
Define the goods, the use period and the project scope before selecting a structure.
Start with goods, handling equipment and the space required for day-to-day operations.
Review walls, roof and doors together when comparing industrial storage structures.
Share the required start date and expected use period when planning your industrial marquee project.
Confirm what the quotation includes for the structure, transport, installation and eventual removal.
Six specification choices for a temporary warehouse, from the usable span to the enclosure.
Plan a temporary warehouse around stock, pallet racking and unobstructed working aisles.
Bay-based industrial storage structures can be specified around the available footprint and planned extension.
Review fabric sides, hard walls and optional insulated panels for the goods and operating conditions.
Size the clear openings, eave height and approach for loaded forklifts and delivery vehicles.
Discuss dismantling, component inspection and the next site when considering reusable storage structures.
Review humidity, ventilation and roof details when planning enclosed storage for moisture-sensitive goods.
For a temporary warehouse with forklift access, compare the loaded vehicle envelope with the clear opening. Allow for operating clearance, the approach and turning space; the opening is not the same as the building’s overall height.
Planning schematics only. Not to scale. Confirm all clearances and structural details in the project drawings.
Compare configurations for factory storage, an enclosed warehouse or a modular building with room to expand. Start with the goods, handling equipment and requirements of the site.
Plan additional covered space alongside an existing facility for finished goods, components or seasonal inventory. Coordinate the connection with existing receiving and dispatch operations.
Compare solid wall panels, roof covering and vehicle openings as one enclosure. Door clearances, ventilation and moisture management should reflect what you store and how often the space is accessed.
Discuss bay-based length, usable span and a possible future extension before specifying the frame. Relocation or reuse requires assessment of the components, the next site and its engineering conditions.
Send the location, available footprint, ground surface, goods to be stored and required dates. Confirm the structure, transport, installation and any end-of-use requirements in the quotation.
Compare structure dimensions, wall and roof choices, door openings, site works and delivery responsibilities on the same basis. If hire is required, ask whether it is available for your destination and confirm the term, maintenance and removal scope separately.
Plan space around the goods and the work that takes place on site, from seasonal stock and factory overflow to logistics and covered loading.
Temporary warehouse space for peak inventory.
Additional covered space alongside an existing factory.
Industrial storage structures for goods movement and dispatch.
Cover for the movement and staging of incoming goods.
Storage space alongside maintenance or workshop operations.
Clear openings and floor space for large stored items.
A temporary warehouse for materials and components.
Organised stock storage before picking and dispatch.
Illustrative workflow only. Review the final traffic and exit arrangements for the site.

Typical configurations are shown. Confirm the proposed specification, site conditions and engineering requirements with your supplier.
Compare the enclosure around the goods and operating conditions, then confirm the available configuration for the selected model.
Flexible sidewall configurations for general covered storage. Review openings, ventilation and how the goods need to be enclosed.
Solid wall assemblies and planned personnel or vehicle openings. Confirm panel type, door clearances and the required fixing details.
Optional insulated panels for suitable configurations. Assess roof, doors, ventilation and moisture conditions together when considering temperature-sensitive storage.
Wall sections are illustrative. Material build-up, thickness and performance depend on the selected product.
Explore the space, access and enclosure choices that support everyday storage.
Lay out pallet racks, goods staging and pedestrian routes before choosing the dimensions. Allow working clearance around forklifts and the stored loads.
Hard-wall temporary warehouse buildings offer a choice of enclosure configurations. Review the roof, doors and optional insulated panels against the goods and site conditions.
Clear-span industrial storage structures allow different arrangements of stock and handling equipment. Plan the internal clearances and access route around the operation.
An industrial marquee for seasonal storage can be planned around peak stock levels and the expected use period. Confirm the footprint, enclosure and delivery programme for your site.
A temporary warehouse for materials storage needs an organised retrieval route and clear working areas. Discuss the enclosure and moisture requirements of the materials.
For demountable industrial storage structures, review frame, roof, bracing and base connections together. Agree site preparation, assembly responsibilities and end-of-use arrangements.

See how a rolling door and modular frame can be specified together when planning warehouse access and future length.
Review layouts and door options for truck access, goods movement and additional space during busy periods.
Consider solid wall options and equipment access when a building needs to accommodate storage and workshop operations.
Compare width, length and eave height when laying out pallet racks, equipment and internal circulation.
Consider short-term storage when a factory needs extra space for stock or seasonal demand. Ask about availability and hire terms for your site.

Six answers about warehouse costs, industrial marquee configurations, storage requirements and site planning.
Temporary warehouse cost depends on its dimensions, usable height, roof and wall configuration, doors, site works and destination. Request an itemised quotation that identifies the structure, transport, installation and any removal requirements. Comparing the same specification and service scope makes the alternatives easier to assess.
An industrial marquee can provide covered storage when its layout, enclosure and structural design suit the goods and site. Check usable height, forklift access, ventilation and moisture conditions. Industrial use must be assessed for the proposed configuration; an event marquee is not automatically suitable for the same operation.
Start with the goods and their temperature, humidity and handling requirements. Compare fabric-sided structures, hard-wall temporary warehouses and optional insulated panels. An insulated wall alone does not establish temperature control, so review roof details, doors and ventilation as part of the enclosure.
Provide stock volume, rack height, loaded forklift dimensions and aisle requirements. Check the clear door opening, usable eave height and turning space inside and outside the building. A sketch of the intended storage layout helps define a practical footprint.
Share the location, installation surface, available dimensions and any slab information. The proposed anchoring and structure need review against local wind and snow conditions, ground constraints and applicable approvals. Existing concrete is assessed for suitability before a fixing method is selected.
Modular configurations may allow a length extension or dismantling for reuse, subject to the selected system and project design. Review frame compatibility, bracing, anchoring and component condition first. A new location needs its own site and engineering assessment; agree inspection, transport, assembly and any replacement components before planning the move.
